"I'm really happy to have the piano back here in the museum, it's where it belongs. This room seemed rather empty without it since last October. We waved it off on a cold grey, rainy afternoon and we didn't know what its future would be. It could have gone overseas and we might not have ever seen it again. But wonderfully George Michael bought it, he had the faith in that actual piano itself and he believed in its importance and today a bright sunny afternoon in the middle of August and he has returned it to us for safe keeping here at the museum. So everybody who comes to see us from all over the world can actually get that wow factor from getting close to this amazing instrument."
